Just competed a road trip 1,200 Miles on my JK Sahara. I drove 50mph, 75mph and 85mph and it felt good. No sluggish feelings. There were high winds with some rain but my JK was solid. I saw many road cars, suv's fly past me while i kept 21mpg to 24mpg. The Jeep is a cool vehicle with capabilities flair and safety that the suv sleds and car (go carts) don't have. I removed the freedom tops for 200 miles while i listened to the sound of the air and getting 24mpg at 60mph and that is worth more than getting 30mpg inside a bubble of metal and plastic. The Jeep also has confidence with its stance of height and safety because you are not sitting so low that an accident will cause most cars to become crushed or squashed at the life essential areas of the vehicle like roof and legs. . Most Jeepers will call my JK a non jeep compared to CJ or some jeepers will call my Sahara a prius of the Jeep family compared to the Rubicon or Sport but its my daily driver and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The Sahara is a trim level of what could be compared to car and I've added 800lbs of bumpers, winch, rock sliders and lights. Bottom line is doors don't ding my doors in parking lots they ding their door edges on my bumpers and rock sliders. I get great mileage and i can see over the cars in traffic while jamming out to the radio or the wind with the freedom tops removed. If you want a cookie cutter road sled or suv aka wagon with 2 wheel drive then buy a kia a honda or a chevy but if you want options, confidence and feeling of awesome capability on and off road then buy a jeep. Sport ,Rubicon and Sahara are all great so enjoy the feeling and know you will never have the same love for any vehicle ever again. I'm not a car lover i'm a jeep lover and its a choice to have options of roads on and off top on or off muddy, snowy rainy or sunny my jeep accepts all and achieves it with coolness and confidence!

Not discounting the vehicle, it's a sweet off-roader! However, the Jeep safety ratings are sub-par compared to comparable off-roaders... Marginal score (second lowest) from IIHS SIDE crash test (which PASSENGER CARS have been passing since 2006) and granted, it scores high in the moderate overlap from crash, it scores another marginal in the small overlap front, another test which some vehicles have been passing since 2003 (Volvo XC90). So I would not advocate safety... Give me standard side airbags for front and rear seats, and improve front crash ratings and I'll buy one in a heartbeat, but until then I'd rather stick with a Subaru Forester.

So I have driven 2 vans and a few years ago bought a Dodge Durango, which we still have and love. But, with our kids getting older and 2 having their own cars I started talking about a jeep again. We talked about getting one in summer. We went and test drove one before Christmas, and I loved it! The day after Christmas my husband surprised me with my jeep. It definitely drives different than our Durango. But its a jeep!! I think I have driven the Durango once since owning the jeep. I can't wait for summer to take the top off and taking some road trips in it with my husband!!

omg yes! The only problem I had with them in the past was not enough horsepower but now with a 3.6 Pentastar, that is not an issue. Easily merges with and keeps up with traffic highway traffic flow. One thing I discovered this winter was you don't even have to put the hard top back on in the fall. I live in Northern Canada and found that my two door was always warm within about 5 to 7 minutes, especially with heated seats. The only remaining issue with the two door is lack of space-not much room to pack stuff if you have passengers in the rear seat. A long distance haul would require you to install a luggage rack on the roof. Other than that, Jeep is awesome!

I was given an all day test drive on a new Wrangler. I was offered $2000 more than the Kelly Blue Book value for my 2001 Wrangler. I decided to go ahead and take the all day test drive. I bought it back in 45 minutes and told them to give me back my 2001 Jeep died in 2006. After seeing what the new Wrangler had to offer, I started upgrading my old Jeep Wrangler because it looks like what Jeep/Fiat is offering is junk compared to my 2001. I just installed a 4.5 inch SkyJacker suspension lift, stainless bumpers and side steps, new Supertop soft top, axle gearing at 4.11 to 1, new seats, extra headlights and off road lights, 33x12.5 R15 BF Goodrich All Terrains tires, rear disk brake conversion, and a nice 10 meter ham radio. It is way cheaper than a new car payment and I have a much better Jeep. For the record, the 4.0 liter in line six is nearly indestructible. There is no way the new V6 could be better. It is kind of sad that I bough my last Jeep at the age of 33, but there is nothing I want from Jeep past the 2006 year.

Fair assessment Greg. The only people who have a use for a Jeep are people who take them off road. I live in Australia where we get the 2.8 Common Rail Diesel version of the Wrangler. Much better fuel consumption and much better than a petrol for the frequent creek crossings that you can get here in Tasmania. There are lots of annoying things about the Wrangler, but at the end of the day it comes down to this. You've got coil springs (not leaf) over solid axles (not independent front suspension). That is THE tried and true recipe for off-road articulation. With the demise of the Land Rover Defender, along with Nissan and Toyota's retreat to IFS for better on-road performance, that leaves you with the Jeep or the Mercedes G-wagon for the pure coil + solid axle set up. The G-wagon is over $100,000 worth of automobile. So -- at least for us non-millionaires -- when it comes to priority for off-road over on-road, the Wrangler is the last man standing. It's made for a purpose and you have to want it for the right reasons.

The next day, fold down a back seat or two, toss in surfboards or other gear, take the top down, grab a friend or two, and you are off to the beach.

I don't have a fleet of cars. I need one car that does it all: 4-season commuter, city run-about, family station wagon, light duty truck, interstate touring wagon, and off road, camping and exploration vehicle. The Wrangler Unlimited does all that in a package 4 inches shorter than my previous truck: a Ford Ranger standard cab short-bed. I bought a 2012 Wrangler Unlimited Sport in late 2011, priced in the mid-twenties. This vehicle is an incredible value, often compared to vehicles costing many times more. Still, given such versatility and value, the Wrangler's FUN factor rules all. It's a playful toy truck that makes makes others seem like appliances in comparison. For those immune to fun, there are plenty of refined, expensive (and boring) alternatives.

My sport has very firm shocks and I drive around 43 miles a day in Louisiana so I feel every bump on our bumpy roads. That being said, while I complain about my MPG (I am at 19mpg now doing good driving, not going above 60, breaking easy, and coasting some times as I have a manual), I would not give up my jeep as it is a jeep :).

I have an 08 Sahara 4d unlimited loaded and I absolutely love my jeep. It does everything I need it to do from every day driver to pulling my camper and kayaks to the occasional snow storm. I had no problem finding any of the controls window switches are in the middle because common sense would dictate that because the doors do come off you wouldn't want to have to worry about unplugging wires to remove them. there are very few blind spots with all the windows and with the top off pretty much no blind spots at all. as far as fuel economy it's a 4x4 truck that will pull it's own weight at 4,000lbs not only that jeep owners aren't looking to race it. I have no problems passing or getting up and moving. It's easy to park and around town just as well on back country roads and highways. IT'S A JEEP carries a lot of weight if you're a true Jeep lover.

Just subscribed, love the reviews. That's exactly what I told my 55 year old mom after I drove her new 2014 Rubicon Unlimited with the manual trans and mud terrain tires - probably the worst commuter vehicle on the market. She commutes 80 miles a day. Whatever, she likes it.

Robert once again, I forgot to mention MPG, this jeep averages on the highway about 12.9 to 13.5 with what I mentioned on my previous post. This jeep came with many AWESOME extras, and this includes wheels. The current tire size is a LT285/65R18

The reason the window switches are in the center is so when you have the front doors off you can still operate the back door windows

If they hadn't put a sub in there, I would. Sound for me is the 2nd most important thing in a car, right after the engine. And specially in a vehicle like this, so outdoor inspired, it's good to have great sound quality with the top off!

I owned a 2009 and 2012 Rubicon. The one thing that drove me up the wall with mine are the software nannies. It's a booger to completely disable the traction control. In 4L, it's off...but in 4H or 2H, it cannot be fully disabled. Otherwise, I liked mine. Might even buy another.

You're review is pretty much right on. Head to head a quad cab pickup blows the WU out of the water. I owned a 1990 Wrangler for 16 years and the shitty mileage, noise, and lack of space made me really wish I would have bought a 4 banger 1990 Toyota pickup. But you buy these Wranglers because the doors/roof come off and because their cool. If you want a reliable practicable daily commute vehicle buy a civic.

I use to live in New Mexico. Chokecherry Canyon (one word) is right above Farmington, NM. It is where all people around that area that their 4x4. There are a lot of videos on KZfaq of 4x4 in Chokecherry. Gallup, NM is about 110 miles to the south west from Farmington. That should help everyone out. I also thought you might be up around Chokecherry.

1941-2006 Jeeps are the best. The 4.0L i6 Are Much better then 3.6L V6-P. 4.0 i6 Wrangler TJ/YJ and Cherokee XJ's Etc. will run forever and are the best And Wranglers Weren't Made For Daily Drivers until 2007. before, they were made for offroad, but you could still daily drive them. it just wasnt too practical. but thats one reason why we love them

I purchased my 2013 sahara in june. I was looking for a good replacement for my convertible that would not be limited on space!(the old Miata was bad for hauling fishing poles and guns).im not an off roader! I told multiple friends"i probably wasted my money! I could never use all ability this thing is capable of"..lol I live in KY and have already drove thru flood waters in my city twice! better to have a jeep and not need it, than to need a jeep and not have it.Birth of a jeep head!!!

I would suggest that if you want a highway capable wrangler, simply order one with the upgraded gear ratio from jeep. I ordered a Altitude all black with the upgrade and everyone's jaw hits the floor when they feel the drive and acceleration. Not to mention its absolutely gorgeous and a off road savage. Happy so say I'm converting BMW, Toyota, Honda, etc SUV buyers to jeep. This $400 upgrade changes the wrangler dramatically.

agreed with this review100% . test drove one today, not for us. We needed a daily driver year round with snowy winters, and to do a bit of mild off road combined with towing every summer. If you really want an offroad adventure 4x4 vehicle off the lot, this is it. But its jittery vehicle on the blacktop, you don't mind the potholes at all but the thing has a tiny vibration over smooth pavement , with road noise very noticeable at speed. This is an off road vehicle ,I see many posers with this whose vehicle will never see dirt, but they probably like the roof off soft top options.
